The European Commission is confident in the successful implementation of the Southern Gas Corridor, which is designed to transport gas from the Caspian region to the EU markets.

He added that the Commission Vice President Maroš Sefcovic’s visit to the groundbreaking ceremony of this pipeline underlines the importance of the Southern Gas Corridor to the EU. “The recently adopted Energy Union Strategy explicitly states that the EU wishes to establish strategic energy partnerships with increasingly important energy producing and transit countries, among them Turkey,” the spokesperson stressed.
